ABSOLUTELY! And headlines down ehre are showing Trump dumping loud and large on Chronister. That is why I hand it to the Sherriff. Smart enough to read the 8 ball.

Not clear to me what DeSantis would get from being SecDef. He'd have to toe Trump's line and kiss his butt all the time.  No opportunity for grandstanding and not exactly a stepping stone towards another shot at the White House.

Trump posting a AI generated image of his imaginary 100lbs-too-light 50-year-old self at 4000 meters in the Alps, in winter, IN A BUSINESS SUIT, staring at a mountain on the border of Italy and Switzerland, because that's the MATTERHORN, thinking it's CANADA.

This is the ignorant booger-eating weirdo fantasy MAGA future Republicans want.

Continuing to pick only the Best People, because he's so smart.

Sheriff Chad Chronister, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration, withdrew his name from consideration for the office on Tuesday, only three days after he was tapped. Sheriff Chronister, from the Florida county that is home to Tampa, was a surprising choice to run the D.E.A., the nation’s top drug enforcement agency. While he had a 30-year career in local law enforcement, he had no experience in the geopolitical aspects...


OMG... there is intelligence in Tampa. This really doesn't surprise me. The Sheriff doesn't need the recognition, the money or the headaches. He is married to a DeBartolo daughter (yes, Eddie DeB) so it's not money.  Life in Hillsborough County is good and he never strikes one as a power grabber.

Thiel pal and venture capitalist eyed for 2nd highest post in Pentagon
Trae Stephens literally profits and invests in military tech and weapons and as Trump's deputy defense secretary would be in charge of the DOD budget

Team Trump Debates ‘How Much Should We Invade Mexico?’
In Trump’s government-in-waiting, the only question is how massive the U.S. assault on Mexican drug cartels should be
Trump, who has routinely (and falsely) promoted himself as the candidate who would stop “endless wars,” now wants to lead a new conflict just south of our nation’s border. But at this moment, it is, in the words of one Trump adviser, “unclear how far he’ll go on this one.” This source adds: “If things don’t change, the president still believes it’s necessary to take some kind of military action against these killers.”

Another source close to Trump describes to Rolling Stone what they call a “soft invasion” of Mexico, in which American special forces — not a large theater deployment — would be sent covertly to assassinate cartel leaders. Indeed, this is a preliminary plan that Trump himself warmed to in private conversations this year.

How Trump Could Remake the CIA
Trump’s top intel picks, John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard, are on a collision course as Republicans plot a political takeover of U.S. intelligence agencies
Political interference, mind control, domestic spying, and generally speaking, making America worse (again). These are just some of the many grievances Donald Trump and his allies have leveled against the intelligence community in recent months. They have been repeated on podcasts, on YouTube shows, and at rallies since Trump began a vendetta against spy agencies he says colluded to destroy his 2016 campaign and presidency.

Now, the full scope of Trump’s planned war on the deep state is coming into focus thanks to the president-elect’s nomination of John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard to top intelligence posts.

Taken together, interviews with current and former intelligence officers, a close read of the Project 2025 intelligence playbook, and the biographies of Trump’s top two intel picks reveal a radical, if confused, agenda for member agencies of the U.S. intelligence community. Among the proposals likely to be attempted inside the Central Intelligence Agency are a centralization of control over other agencies, an expansion of covert operations, and a shift from the War on Terror to competition with China. (...)


But whether the intelligence agencies can be dragged into the light and forced to heel at the president’s table remains to be seen. As a former intelligence officer tells Rolling Stone, “If there’s one place the CIA thrives, it’s in chaos.”
